New picture of Samsung Galaxy S4 is fake

This morning, an alleged picture of the Samsung Galaxy S4 emerged online at sites like BGR. The original picture was published by SamMobile. Many websites are drooling over the device, which looks like a slightly larger Galaxy S3 without the buttons.

We hate to ruin the excitement, but the viral photo is an absolute fake. Our source from Samsung tells us that the picture is obviously the latest invention from Photoshop. "This photo is the biggest joke -- it's not the real thing, trust me. I like how they even added the 'lens flare' 'effect to make it look like the picture was taken in an imperfect situation," our source tells us.

The real Samsung Galaxy S4 is likely to be revealed during the first quarter of this year with availability by the end of June. What do you think of the fake Galaxy S4 photo? Were you tricked or able to tell it was an invention of Photoshop?
